Personal Blender Reviews 2014

2014: bought the original Areca 8050 filled with HGST drives and used primarily for Lightroom/FCPX editing. Zero issues with this RAID. Thunderbolt 1 and see 400-600mb read/write speeds. 2020: Upgrade RAID system for more storage and better performance. After reading/watching all the reviews, I was expecting 800-900mb since my laptop/iMac still thunderbolt 2. RAID 5 with 8x WD Ultrastar providing 1100+mb and I couldn't be happier with these results. For anyone shopping one of these, don't be intimidated by the setup/config that some of the reviews note. It's a little bit of work, but nothing horrible. Honestly, I've had Alexa dongles that were more complicated to setup than this. Also: one of the review sites noted this T3 unit is not backward compatible with thunderbolt2 devices. I'm using the Apple T3-T2 adapter and it's working flawlessly. Thanks Areca for making such a solid performing array!

I've seen reviews deriding this thing for not fitting properly on the rail, but my personal experience using this on a Tilta cage is that it fits perfectly and locks tight with a heavy rig.

Worked perfectly in a late 2014 iMac.

I bought my last macbook in 2014 so this is a great upgrade!

I have not used a mouse since 1995 and love the 3Dconnexion mouse. I am learning Blender and got comfortable with it within 1/2 an hour. B&H got it from NY to Santa Cruz, Ca. in a couple of days.

i played cyberpunk 2077 at max settings without any lags And Blender rendering was super fast. good laptop for 3d artist and gamers.

Just a pleasant experience. I don’t think I’ve seen it hit 70C yet under loads like blender cycles and unreal 5.

I am a CG Generalist who uses Blender. I needed a camera that could deliver crystal clear images for camera tracking and matte placements. I was thrilled with the HDR capture, time lapse, stop action and RAW capabilities of this camera. Not to mention the WiFi and panorama abilities. I wish I could have afforded a camera with a higher frame rate at 4k, but this little beauty is hard to beat for the price.

This is my first Dracast product purchased. I figured for $60 bucks I could be useful in a pinch. I have rented a Blender LED for a day thats almost the total price I paid for this light and its just as good for what I need. To my surprise its fantastic. The build quality is solid and the controls are smooth and responsive. I'm glad i purchased this light.

This little guy is a must for your P360/P360EX lights. The light has a diffuser/led blender that makes the light scatter too much. With this lens the light works like a soft spotlight with strong center focus and a feathered fall-off that can be controlled effectively with included barn doors. Spectacular little lens and the magnetic mount is a charm making placement and removal easier than any other product ever owned.
